On April 25, Chungnam Province announced that Deputy Governor Jungju Park, Cheonan City Deputy Mayor Kim Seokpil, and other senior officials held a meeting at Cheonan City Hall to discuss countermeasures in response to the vacancy of the Cheonan mayoral office.

At the emergency meeting convened on April 24 following the Supreme Court ruling regarding Mayor Park Sangdon, Deputy Governor Park urged, "Please focus all administrative efforts on ensuring strict discipline among public officials and on the seamless progress of ongoing key projects to maintain regional stability."

He continued, "The provincial and city governments will make it their top priority to resolve pressing issues in the Cheonan area and maintain community stability, responding without disruption based on the administrative experience of their officials. If citizens, the city council, and public officials unite their strength on the foundation of public trust, we can wisely overcome this regrettable and difficult situation."

Regarding major local events such as the Cheonan K-Culture Expo and the 77th Chungnam Provincial Sports Festival, he requested that there be no gaps in the preparations for accommodating athletes and visitors, as well as in ensuring safety at the event venues.

He also called for continued close cooperation on national and provincial policies, including attracting the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Computing Center, establishing the National Institute of Dental Research and the Immigration Office, creating the Cheonan Future Mobility National Industrial Complex, and extending the GTX-C line to Cheonan and Asan.

Deputy Governor Park reiterated, "I ask citizens to support us with trust rather than concern," adding, "We will do our utmost together with Cheonan City to ensure the unwavering implementation of national and provincial policies."
